What this book is about
Louisa May Alcott's sequel to Little Women follows Jo and Friedrich Bhaer as they run Plumfield, an experimental school that takes in boys of all backgrounds and temperaments. The novel is gentler and more episodic than its predecessor — a series of character sketches about how children can be shaped by love and purpose. Entirely appropriate for all ages; a classic of 19th-century American children's literature.
